Paying for sober living in Maine
Expect sober living in Maine to run about $160 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in Maine, for comparison, is $1,139 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through HSSP, YSP, Bed Sponsorship Fund and BRAP, PSHP, PATH or similar state funding. That money is administered by Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are taken on by the members themselves, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Maine
Recovery housing in Maine operates without a state licence. Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Maine Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (5 Maine Revised Statutes Section 4581-A).
